Bio:
Bertil Vallien’s figurative glass works for Kosta Boda from the 1970s are characterised by symbolic imagery and a fusion of human and animal forms. Head and heart motifs function as visual metaphors for identity and emotion, while bird elements often contribute a poetic and narrative dimension to his sculptural language.
